Poverty Reduction and Citizen Empowerment in Pakistan

The Asia Foundation recently won an Asian Development Bank (ADB) grant of $333,000 for Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Marshall Islands to design and implement pilot projects to promote increased public participation in local budget planning through the establishment of citizens’ budget fora. The eight month project seeks to broaden understanding and debate of local budgets so that citizens are more engaged in formulation and oversight of budgets. Lessons learned in the different country contexts will be shared through a final conference and publication.
